CHAPTER XIV.

HUNTED IN THE WOODS BY DOGS AND MEN
Dispersed in the woods with no knowl-
edge of the country, and no guide toward
our own lines; with the alarm spreading
in every direction, and the hearts of the
people on fire with fierce resentment be-
cause of the desperate character of our
raid, the prospect of escape for any of our
number was slight indeed The south
was also better prepared for hunting
down fugitives than any other people
could have been where slavery was not
an established institution. Tracking men
over hills and mountains was no novelty;
and now for scores of miles in every Ci-
rection from Chattanooga roads and fer
ries were guarded, cavalry galloped along
the roads, and the planters with their
packs of negro hunting dogs explored
every wood. Unfortunately, too, a ready
mode of identifying any member of the
band who might be captured was soon
discovered On te way south we had
represented ourselves as from Fleming
county, Ky. This story was still con-
tinued. The first arrests were made the
very same day so close to the train that
after this story had been told the men
were positively traced back to the train,
and then all who gave the same story were
known to belong to us.
We expected to die as soon as captured;
and there was degree of evaporation
which rendered the risk of instant shoot
ing or hanging very great. But there was
also desire for further investigation and
discovery which would be cut short by n
sudden Staying OF the victim, and this
operated 70 bridge over the first furious
moment of capture, but did not prevent
the most fearful threats, and in one case
that of Parrott-a fearful beating 1t
also led to rigor Of claiming and confine-
ment almost unparalleled.
We can only give the very briefest &C.
count Of these painful incidents, and will
gladly hasten to other things.

things that we could not otherwise have
learned.
We halted for moment at the camp
fire of the guard outside the gate; then
Swms came out, grumblng about their
being disturbed so much, and unlocking
the gate, admitted us. We crossed the
yard, assembled the long outside stairway,
and from an outside landing entered the
bedroom. From this door opened into
the prison. The room was quite small,
square, and entirely destitute of furniture
of any kind except n long ladder, which
lay on the floor. There were five or six
old, miserable looking men in the room,
whose clothes hung in tatters, and who
presented terribly starved, dirty and
wretched appearance 1t was n dreadful
place, and | shuddered at the idea of TAX
ing up my abode in such den. But
soon found l was not to he so highly
favored, and n little more experience was
sufficient to make me look almost with
envy upon these old men.
Said the iailer to the captain; "Where
shall | put himy'
"Below, of course" was the prompt
reply.

enough, though we had no bedding what
ever; in fact, one OF the first things we
did was to disrobe as far as our irons
would permit Many of the East Tennes-
sccans who were not fettered were en-
trely naked, because of the intense heat
But we adjusted ourselves in our corner
so that our chains might cramp us as little
as possible and, ceasing to talk, were
soon asleep. The others in the room were
already unconscious. The one advantage
OF the terribly close atmosphere was that
the great heat and the slow carbonic acid
poisoning from the impure air rendered
slumber easy, and we found little trouble
in sleeping early and late. The arranging
for rest required very nice adjustment,
and if any one wanted to change his posi-
ton he was sure to arouse all who were
near him; or, if he rose up to 90 for a
drink, he had to take along those who
were chained to him, and was apt to tread
on his neighbors, which gave rise to some
warm alterations, with the result of still
further disturbing our slumbers.

Andrews ana two companions were taken
on Monday; six more were captured near
the close of the week, having, however
gone no further than | had done the first
day. This left only two of the whole
party at large, who, by getting boat and
drifting down the Tennessee, got virtually
within the Union lines, but then 60
ing boldly forward in the daytime were
arrested by n band of Confederate guer-
rillas and brought back some two weeks
after leaving the train. This completed
the capture of the whole party, and to this
terrible pass had our hopeful enterprise
resolved itself We had been told that to
fall into the enemy's power was inevita-
BILE death, and we had no reason to doubt
it. Nothing in our treatment was of such
a nature as to inspire us with hope. We
were chained and tied in barbarous fash
ion, and confined in the most loathsome
dungeons, dark, filthy, and often under
ground, in Dalton, Marietta and else
where. Our food was of the coarest and
most scanty character. We were assured
everywhere that we would soon be hung
as soon us they could get us all gathered
in at a proper place. Gradually the whole
were assembled at Chattanooga, where

LEAVING THE LOCOMOTIVE.

delay the inevitable pursuit little, and
give us better opportunity to organize
our plans. The brakes of the tender were
put on still more to diminish speed, and
the reversal was made. Here is Il slight
conflict of authority. The pursuers say
that the brakes were not loOsed again; but
our engineers are equally positive that
they were. 1t is not material, for the re-
suit is the same. The steam power was so
low, that though the engine moved back
it was with moderate velocity, and | saw
the pursuers reverse also, and coming to a
full stop, whistle two or three times us it
approached-a seeming whistle of alarm,
though there was little in the approach of
our poor General to fear; and then they
moved slowly before it for a short distance
till the two were in contact, when the
weaker stopped and the steam was shut
off. The great railroad chase was overt

beng cast entirely on his own resources.
It must further be remembered, in ex-
PLANTATION of this mistaken order, that
Andrews had slept none the night before,
that he had been nearly twenty-four hours
without food, and that he had spent nearly
two days and night in the most exhaust
ing labors. both mental and physical, that
it is possible to conceive. He had seen his
cherished plans, when on the brink of sue
cess, overthrow by what seemed the re-
morseless hand of destiny. TO the many
failures and SORROWS of his past life had
been added the browning misfortune of
this defeat, Perhaps under his calm brow
he realized this with an intensity Of
anguish, and felt that the greatest favor
he could do those he had led within sight
of u horrible death, and into the presence
of an enraged and triumphant foe, was to
separate them at once from his own dark
and Swallowed destiny. If so, that was
the most fearful mistake of all; and as this
order was given, we could almost, as we
looked southwark through the driving
rain and the storm clouds, behold already
the dark outline of the Atlanta scaffolds!
1t was pitiful The General had served
us well ever since the morning hour in
fearful speed and patient waiting, in ex-
ulting raptures and in almost despair. 1t
was hard to abandon her now. She was
substantially uninjured. The engineers,
Brown and Knight, had taken good care
of her, and with wood and oil in abund-
ance there would have been no difficulty
on her part in completing the run to
Huntsville. She was still jogging along
at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour,
and could maintain that pace a little
longer. The pursuers had also diminished
their speed so as to just keep us in sight,
having apparently no wish to press upon
what may have seemed to them like n
wounded and dying lion. The command
to ''jump off and scatter" was repeated
with the injunction to be quick about it,
as the engineer wished to reverse the en-
CINE and drive it back upon the enemy.
With such reason there could be no
more hesitation. 1t is said that some
three or four had already got off at the
first word of command; but the most of
us had hesitated, not on account of the
still rapid motion of the train, but in the
idle hope that in some way this terrible
parting might be averted. Now one
after another clambered down on the step
and swung off. | was neither among
the first nor the last, and jumping unskill-
fully out from the step, instead of for
ward, whirled over and over on hands and
feet for several revolutions. Rising in
dazed condition, though unhurt, with the
exception of few scratches from the
briers with which the place abounded, l
looked over the animated scene with the
deepest interest. The men who jumped
off were, according to Instructions flying
i'll different directions, few others were
just coming off the engine in much the
same way that l had done, while the en-
gineers were attempting to carry out their
scheme of reversing the engine, which
could do no good now, except possibly to
